Tips From The Kitchen
- Blind bake the crust slightly before adding the filling to prevent sogginess.
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing to help it set and hold its shape.
Step 1
Gently heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Begin baking the pie shell for about 9 to 10 minutes, just until it starts to turn golden brown. While that’s in the oven, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it’s nice and crispy. Once done, drain the bacon on paper towels, crumble it up, and set it aside.
Step 2
Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and dice the onion and green bell pepper. In a big bowl, combine the mayonnaise, cheeses, chopped vegetables, and the crumbled bacon. Give everything a good mix, then spoon this filling into your partially baked pie shell. Sprinkle a little extra crumbled bacon on top for some added crunch.
Step 3
Pop the pie back in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the edges are beautifully browned and the filling is hot and bubbly. Let it cool a bit before serving, and enjoy!
